The Department of Campus Safety is responsible for providing services to enhance the safety and security of all members of the Knox community. Campus Safety maintains a cooperative working relationship with the Galesburg Police Department, as well as county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies in all matters of mutual concern.

The Galesburg Police and Fire Departments are located in the Public Safety Building, 150 West Tompkins Street, just one block north of the Knox campus. These agencies respond promptly when their assistance has been requested for emergency and non-emergency circumstances. Campus safety officers have been trained and are authorized to provide reasonable assistance, provided such assistance can be given without endangering the officer or others involved in the incident pending the arrival of emergency services personnel.
